🧠 Pricing Strategy (Not Too Cheap, Not Too High)
Great—this is the sweet spot strategy, Sarim 👷♂️
👉 Not cheapest
👉 Not expensive
👉 But most chosen
🔑 Core Idea
👉 You want to be:
“Best Value” — not cheapest, not premium
“Best Value” — not cheapest, not premium
⚖️ THE POSITIONING
Think of market like this:
Cheap contractor
Risky ❌
Expensive contractor
Scary ❌
You
Smart choice ✅
👉 Client thinks:
“Not cheapest… but safer and reasonable”
⚡ STEP 1: Find Market Range
Before pricing, know:
Example in your area
- Low = $260/m²
- Average = $290–$310/m²
- High = $330+/m²
👉 Your target:
👉 Slightly above average
👉 Slightly above average
Example
👉 $300–$315/m²
🧱 STEP 2: Use “Middle Strategy” (Most Powerful)
Never give 1 price ❌
Your structure
Basic
$280
Standard ✅
$300–310
Target Option
Premium
$330
👉 Client naturally chooses middle
🧠 STEP 3: Justify Your Position (Very Important)
You must answer:
👉 “Why you, not cheaper one?”
🗣️ Say
“We are not the cheapest, but we focus on proper planning, supervision, and avoiding problems later.”
👉 You are:
- Not cheap
- Not expensive
- Reliable
📊 STEP 4: Make Price Feel Reasonable
Trick
Break down value
Instead of
“$300/m²”
Say
“This includes full supervision, material control, and quality assurance from start to finish.”
👉 Now price = service + system
🔥 STEP 5: Use Comparison Anchor
🗣️ Say
“Some contractors may offer lower price, but often without full supervision or quality control.”
- 👉 You don’t attack
- 👉 You position
⚖️ STEP 6: Balance Profit + Win Rate
You want:
- Profit margin: 15–25%
- Win rate: 40–60%
👉 If:
- You win 90% → price too cheap ❌
- You win 10% → price too high ❌
👉 Target:
“I win half, but with good profit”
“I win half, but with good profit”
🧠 STEP 7: Adjust Based on Client Type
💰 Price-sensitive client
👉 Push Basic option
🧠 Smart client
👉 Push Standard
💎 High-end client
👉 Push Premium
🚀 STEP 8: Control Perception
❌ Don’t say
“My price is cheap”
✅ Say
“My price is fair for the quality and control we provide”
👉 One word changes everything:
- Cheap = low value
- Fair = professional
🔥 REAL EXAMPLE
Market average = $300/m²
Basic
$285
Standard ✅
$305
Premium
$335
👉 Client sees:
• You are not cheapest
• Not too expensive
👉 Feels safe
• You are not cheapest
• Not too expensive
👉 Feels safe
🧠 SARIM POWER RULE
- 👉 If client doesn’t complain about price = You are too cheap
- 👉 If every client rejects = Too expensive
- 👉 If some accept, some hesitate = PERFECT ZONE ✅
💡 FINAL TRUTH
👉 The best price is not lowest
👉 It is the one that makes client feel:
👉 It is the one that makes client feel:
“This is a smart decision”
